The cherry blossoms are starting to bloom.

New employees will begin their training

at the end of this month.

I hope you train them well...

Train them, not drain them.

To your posts.

Ms. Sawaki.

Come to my office later.

Sogo Department Store, Tama Branch.

I'd like to tell you about Ms. Sawaki...

We've been getting strange calls this morning.

Strange?

She says you did something horrible.

She says you stole her husband.

Any idea of who she is?

No...

Please braid this doll's hair.

Mom...

Mom... please braid her hair.

Here...

Those calls are...

...interfering in our work.

I'm sorry.

When you do things like that

everyone thinks we're all like you.

Do something about it.

It's the end of a shift.

Got it?

Tsukasa...

I have to go.

Shall I take your place?

I'm all right.

I'm all right...

Episode 10: The hurt

This is for you.

Ms. Sawaki.

Don't let it bother you.

You won't last it you let it get to you.

Thank you.

She looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly...

Here you are.

Why don't we go outside and eat?

The weather's nice, too.

I feel like going somewhere

when it's sunny like this.

Shall we go for a drive tomorrow?

We could go to Disneyland, skating,

bowling or go to a good spot in Shibuya.

You know...

...about the rumor.

Let them...

Let them talk.

They're just having fun.

I'm at fault.

I've hurt a person, so...

...I probably deserve it.

Mrs. Yoshimoto?

You've been hurt, too.

Right?

Mr. Yoshimoto.

Mr. Yoshimoto.

One moment.

Yoshimoto speaking.

What's wrong with your wife?

Don't act dumb.

Do you know how much trouble Tsukasa is in?

What are you talking about?

I want some doll clothes.

You have a lot of them.

No, I want fashionable outfits since we're in Tokyo.

Mom said she'd buy some for me

if you said it was okay.

I guess it can't be helped.

I'll leave your change of clothes in the basket.

Mom, Dad said I can have new clothes for my dolls.

Aren't you happy?

Let's all go shopping together on your day off.

Let's count to 20.

She must be tired since she played so hard.

Are you sure you want to go shopping

on your day off?

Aren't you busy with work?

That was a foolish thing to do.

Do you know what you did?

Well?

I don't feel bad about it.

What?

She stole you.

I only dated her once.

I can't forgive you...

...because I know you're serious about her.

Am I not right?

No.

I know how you feel...

I've lived with you for 10 years.

If you have something to say, say it to me.

Are you going to side with her?

Do you love her that much?

I said I don't.

Who are you calling?

Let's have everyone know.

Stop it.

Let me go!

I should've stayed in Osaka.

Then I wouldn't have found out.

I hate you!

You're hurting Mom!

Mom, don't cry...

Good evening.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I bought some tako-yaki.

I came because I thought you made dinner.

I only made enough for myself.

We'll share.

Beer after work is delicious.

What are you cooking?

Fried rice.

I'm tired of fried rice.

Let's have omelette rice.

You're so selfish.

Good?

I'm glad...

I was worried that you would be gloomy.

Has...

...Mr. Yoshimoto called?

I was so angry that

I called him up and told him about today.

Why?

Mr. Yoshimoto?

I'll get it.

Good evening.

Oh, it's Ms. Mizuki.

Am I intruding?

No, come inside.

Did you eat?

No, I'm just starting to cook.

Good. I bought ingredients

for suki-yaki.

She's a friend to have.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing.

May I?

Help us.

I'll watch TV.

My family sent me the vegetables...

I can't eat all of them by myself.

Thank you for worrying.

Don't...

We're friends...

What?

Delicious...

The meat's good...

You're eating up all of the meat.

Have some vegetables.

What a dirty trick.

I'll get it.

Hello?

No answer...

Sawaki speaking.

Is my husband there?

No, he isn't.

It's your fault.

It's all your fault.

You broke up my family.

Who was that?

Mr. Yoshimoto?

No, it was a crank call.

Let's eat.

This is done.

Do you remember...

...the last time we came here?

You ran around barefoot.

You said island children are tough.

It's so strange...

That seems like a long time ago...

...even though it was just a while ago.

You've changed...

You're a different person now.

Is that a good thing?

I don't know.

It's probably a bad thing.

Why?

Because... I can't laugh like I used to...

I thought I loved you back then.

I wanted you then...

Now I...

...I adore you even more now.

Did that sound too cool?

You can't lie, can you?

You look troubled...

I know that...

...your mind is full of thoughts of Mr. Yoshimoto.

You don't have to say anything.

It's okay.

I wonder if they're done.

Thank you.

How is it?

Delicious.

Don't force yourself to be cheerful.

That's you.

I said you've changed...

I wonder if I've changed, too.

I didn't care about how others felt.

In high school I didn't like this guy...

I fought with him.

He was down, and I kept kicking him.

People used to say they were scared of me.

But... now I think I was a coward.

They say a bully is always a coward.

Get them before they get you...

I was like that with women, too.

I left them, before they left me.

I was afraid of getting hurt.

Yet I keep asking you out

even when you keep turning me down.

I don't think I look bad.

I'm happy with the way I am.

I'm glad I can be honest about how I feel.

I may be causing you trouble though.

Let's eat.

Car 2... Noda, Miyamoto and Tashiro.

Car 3... Hori, Kimura and Tanaka.

Ms. Sawaki...

Please work in the office today.

That is the rotation for today.

Why? It's not fair.

Management sees those calls as a problem.

She's the victim!

Smoke doesn't rise where there's no fire.

These matters look bad for me.

Remove your clothes.

Go to personnel, and get the office uniform.

He's only worried about himself.

Ms. Noda, get to your post.

Naoko, don't worry about me.

See you later.

Good morning.

Did you sleep over again?

Apologize to your wife and make up.

I'd like to talk to you...

Yes?

Can you put someone else in charge

of Sogo Department Store?

Ms. Sawaki, make me some tea when you're done with that.

Yes?

Let's go out tonight.

I'll listen to your problems. How's dinner?

I have things to do.

You'll get transferred at this rate.

I can't go.

That's a bad attitude...

Well, then...

Men will try anything.

Thanks.

He did that to me...

When he found out about Chief Maeno.

He tough I was loose.

I know it's hard...

This is nothing.

Really?

Just a minute.

Don't touch it.

That should do it.

Let's go with the next product.

Did you know Tsukasa was seeing another man?

Return this item.

I wonder who it is.

Hello.

Ah, hello.

I brought the sample of the spring ad.

Wait for me at the coffee shop.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Coffee.

This is it.

I'd like the background lighter in color...

We'll redo that. Anything else?

The rest is fine.

The usual amount.

I'm sorry, but I won't be handling this job.

A Yamamoto will be in charge of your account.

I'm very sorry.

Was it your request?

No...

It doesn't matter

Is Tsuka all right?

My wife did a terrible thing...

She's not doing the elevators.

She's in the office now.

I'm responsible, so I'll explain...

Don't. You'll only make things worse.

It's just a rumor right now,

so things should cool down.

I want to apologize to Tsuka...

...but I won't see her.

That's fine if that's your decision.

Where were you?

I'm home.

Mom, Dad's home.

I'm home.

Where were you for two nights?

Sorry to worry you.

Welcome back.

Dinner's almost ready.

I was wrong. I'm sorry.

I really feel bad.

Where did you sleep at?

At work.

I thought you were at Ms. Sawaki's...

Dinner's ready.

That chief's miserable.

He's not funny, so he should stop making those jokes.

Toru...

Don't just stand there. Have a seat.

What will you have?

Char siu ramen.

Don't be timid.

I'm not...

She won't like you if you're like that.

He's wondering if you're angry

because he hit Mr. Yoshimoto.

You don't have to bring that up.

Have some beer.

I think he deserved that punch...

Look at her.

Maybe I was a little wrong.

Be firm!

Quiet!

You can't talk to me like that!

Don't meddle!

I'm trying to help!

That's meddling.

I'm tired!

Would you like some pot stickers?

No, I'm full.

A lot of things happen in life.

Cheer up!

What was that song...?

Many things happen in life...

There are many man and women...

No one wants to hear that song!

What?

Stop it.

I'm just trying to cheer her up.

Leave her alone.

It's important to cheer up a friend.

Why can't you just leave her alone?

You're only making things worse.

This is what you call compassion!

Ms. Sawaki...

Sis, how are you?

The Setouchi Sea looks soft...

I can tell spring is approaching...

I like this period...

The scenery looks a little different

and I feel excited.

I'm sure you always have excitement in Tokyo.

I'll pick up the pamphlet from the kindergarten.

Find out if they have a swing and a slide.

Eat nicely...

I'll call when I get there.

Bye.

Are you coming home tonight?

You weren't in the room...

I often passed the time here, too.

Don't you feel at ease when you look down?

I realize I'm a tiny speck, too.

Even the things around me are trivial...

Perhaps they really are all trivial...

What we ponder over is trivial...

It's Dad!

That's all right.

Why?

Put on your shoes.

Where are we going?

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Congratulations.

You'll be at the main store from April.

Congratulations. It's a promotion.

I like my present job, so I'm a little sad.

I won't get to see you like now, either.

I won't be able to wait for you after work.

Would you...

...like to be with me?

I'm serious about us. I've thought of the future.

I'd like your answer.

I'm home.

Isn't anyone home?

"I'm going back to Osaka. I'm not coming back."

...be with me.

I'd like your answer.

Mr. Yoshimoto.

Doing okay?

I'm sorry for all the trouble.

How's Haruna?

She's healthy. She'll attend kindergarten starting April.

See you.

Bye.

I don't want you as a memory.

I can't quell my feelings.

I can't forget you.

This is the first time...

I've been commuting on this train

for a year now.

But I've never ridden passed that station.

This is the first time I've seen this scenery.

Shall we go...

...to the last station?
